Otay Mesa shooting death ruled suicide

OTAY MESA  The shooting death of a man in his Otay Mesa home in February was a suicide, the Medical Examiner’s Office has determined.

Autopsy results were released Saturday, revealing that Ricardo Castulo Beltran, 29, of Caminito Quixote, died of a single gunshot wound to his head.

Homicide investigators were called in on Feb. 28 after Beltran’s brother called 911 to report the shooting. Beltran was lying in the kitchen of the apartment the brothers shared with their mother, San Diego police said.

The surviving brother said he was in another room, and other people were in the apartment when the gun went off.
